Pinzon v. A & G Properties4/28/2005
r a certain term . . . the landlord shall be entitled to the possession, without [a notice to quit], immediately upon the expiration of the term." Furthermore, even if A & G committed a breach of contract, that breach would not provide appellant any defense in this landlord-tenant action for possession. "In the unique context of a landlord's summary suit for possession, a defense premised upon a failure of the landlord to perform other obligations is inappropriate. Such a failure on the part of the landlord is irrelevant in assessing the propriety of possessory relief, for a tenant is not entitled to withhold rent based on any other asserted breach of contract." Winchester Management Corp. v. Staten, 361 A.2d 187, 192 n.13 (D.C. 1976).
V.
For the foregoing reasons, the order from which this appeal is taken is in all respects Affirmed.
